Has this only just happened? Or did you have this and it has stopped? If it's just this, try and get a scan as soon as you get to 7 weeks to see what's what. I'm really sorry if it's a miscarriage, I know what it feels like. My miscarriage the other month started with just a bit then full period. However, with my son I had quite a heavy bleed at 12 weeks and he arrived here fine!

I went for a scan yesterday and the scan look fine, we saw a gestational & yolk sac. Then today I passed these..

OK if I was you, if there isn't an obvious miscarriage (as in bleeding enough to be classed as a period) I'd try and hang on until 8 weeks, have another scan and then hopefully you'll be able to see a heart beat. Unfortunately that's the only way to know for certain. I'm the meantime, I know it'll be all you can think about but try and do things to take your mind off of it. Wishing you all the best!

@Emilyjaynee666 can you book a private scan in a couple of days time for some peace of mind? There are loads of places that offer them for £100 or less x

I can't , I think it was a misscarrige I've just never experienced a miscarriage like this as the clot looks really white rather than red

i can’t really see well in the photograph, but when I had a miscarriage the pregnancy was a white grey and it was quite obvious compared to the red bleeding and red clots I’d been having. I’m so sorry if that is what you’ve experienced xx

@Emilyjaynee666 I was in hospital for my miscarriage as it was missed so needed the tablets to start it off, the nurse did say the tissue may be pink/purple, and feel hard rather than squishy like a blood clot xx

The clots I had seems soft and squishy

Mine looked like the photos you posted but much bigger.
Can you go to the EPU and ask for a scan?

They won't scan me again for 2 weeks as I've had a scan on 31st which showed the gestational & yolk sac

Can you go for a private scan? To put your mind at rest? x

Show quote history

If you tell them you are concerned you have a miscarriage, they will scan you surely? I went for a few 'extra' scans when I was worried during my pregnancy. They told me they'd rather I'd come in than sit anxiously at home because that wouldn't be good for either me or the baby.

I also went to my GP who used a doppler to listen for the heartbeat. She let me listen so I was reassured. I paid for the GP privately. Would that be an option?

Alloveragain3 · 02/06/2023 22:24

This is what mine looked like at this stage of gestation, yes.

Hopefully it's not the case for you OP.

Did you bleed a lot after loosing the clots?

I'd book a private scan if EPU won't see you

I have a scan tomorrow but with the comments saying it looks like a miscarriage I think I've come to the fact that I've miscarriaged ☹️

I hope it will be ok OP. Do you have someone to go with you tomorrow? Please don't go alone.

I don't I will be attending alone, the strange thing is everything's stopped like no bleeding or anything my pad is completely clean.
I just know it will be a miscarriage. I feel like I've already processed it. I had 2 last year but they never looked or was anything like what's happened over the last 2 days.

The sad reality is the fact if this is a miscarriage, it means I've had 4 back to back losses. 2 last year then a stillbirth with my son and then a miscarriage ☹️

Life really isn't fair. I just don't ever think I'll be an earthside mum and it sucks so bad

Throughalookingglass · 02/06/2023 23:30

I'm so sorry OP. Its so so hard to lose one and three in such a short period is horrendous. Sending positive thoughts your way for tomorrow.

So sorry for your losses. Can't imagine how tough that must be. Wishing you all the best with the scan.

So sorry for your losses. I’m keeping everything crossed for your scan tomorrow.

It has been super tough, the worst years of my life.
20 year old having a stillbirth & miscarriages broke me as a person.

I'm just with trying to hope for the best with the scan tomorrow but I know deep down it's going to be bad news

I had similar when I had a miscarriage but also had similar when I was pregnant with my son. It's such a worrying time OP. Will be thinking of you tomorrow.
